Halloween! 2013. 8

I’m at the end of the corridor – the ‘left’ end from where the door was, and the noises are very clear here. I think they’re just echoes… but where from is a mystery.

The echoes ARE voices. So far, I’ve heard “I’m Cook”, “Yes ma’am” and, chillingly (and I would hear it tonight!), “Get Out”! There are also the usual taps and bumps – the expected noises for Halloween, when you’re alone in a long dark corridor.

The phrases are being repeated, over and over, in the same order, although sometimes they overlap each other, and when they overlap that’s when I get the chattering sound I could hear from inside the Room. It’s quite loud down here, though.

As soon as I typed that, another noise has joined the mix. This time, it isn’t a voice or tapping.

Footsteps.

Footsteps coming in my direction, from the doorway back up the corridor.

Slow moving and quite sinister sounding actually. I’m imagining someone in a long black coat and hat walking with their hands clasped behind their back… my imagination does wonders for me at times like this.
